Monitor your MySQL servers like never before – use CSOs!

by Dec 16, 2011

We are delighted to announce the release of MONyog 4.8 GA. This release is all about customization – to be precise Custom SQL Objects (CSO) and Custom SQL Counters (CSC).

The above diagram shows how Monitors & Advisors (MySQL Counters) are populated. MONyog has a repository of SQL Queries which are executed in regular interval of time & the results are stored in SQLite database of MONyog. These results are exposed as JavaScript objects and are referenced to populate Monitors and Advisors (MySQL Counters).

With CSO, you can add your own SQL queries to this repository & customise counters based on that. Discussed below are some cases on how useful CSOs can be.

  • Maintenance statements, for eg. CHECK TABLE, REPAIR TABLE etc.
  • You could query on Information Schema to monitor the size of a table. You can also configure it to alert when it crosses a threshold.
  • Keep yourself updated with the worst performing indexes.
  • Third party MySQL forks have some non standard tables. For eg. you can query on Statistics table of Percona MySQL fork to fetch information about unused index.
  • You can monitor MySQL clusters too, by querying Ndbinfo Schema.

Refer the following posts for detailed release notes:

Team MONyog
